Mary also hurriedly returned the gesture, and upon hearing her response, the woman revealed a smile.
"I apologize for startling you, but I can assure you that most people in this country are kind, if you don't mind... how about I make it up to you by treating you to a cup of coffee?"
".........…Okay."
Faced with the woman's invitation, Mary hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
The reason she agreed was simple; when the woman appeared, Mary sensed that her Bird Divination Tool reacted, indicating that this woman was not a human, but a Ghoul.
It seems the fish has finally taken the bait.
After that, the woman took Mary to a nearby coffee shop, and they started to chat. In the conversation, Mary also revealed her identity as a novelist who came here to gather inspiration.
Strictly speaking, it's true; turning this adventure into a novel was also part of Mary's plan.
What was unexpectedly surprising is that the woman had read Mary's novels and was a fan of hers.
